I agree. The idea is to work from what is working with all of us, and see what implementers want to communicate. We can change what is a MUST as things progress, add new formats, remove others, until at some point it does not become that important anymore. At first these MUSTs are really just there so that people who don't come from semweb spaces, don't get too big a shock. 

As for RDF/XML vs Turtle for example it's really a question how the linked data community feels. If they feel it's time to move
then we could make that move.
